Abstract:

This paper deals with the utilization of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) methodology in the design of microstrip antennas with prespecified operational features. A printed annular ring antenna, textured by slits, was designed in a multilayered dielectric substrate. The operational features of the antenna depend on the width and the position of the slits, the values of the structural parameters and the feed position. In this work a solution of the inverse problem, namely to find out the proper combination of all these parameter values which would yield the desired frequency response, was given via a Multiple Layer Perceptron (MLP) Neural Network.
